Cleveland needs to stay far away from Humphries and that 3 team deal. We are in a perfect spot right now with a lot of young talent. Give Thompson the minutes he earned at the end of last season and he will be All Star caliber in 2 years.

 

[NervousXtian]

Lakers fans know they have an injury prone guy with the mental capacity of a 8yr old.

I know it's D12, but still.. so eager.

 

[Fenderputty]

He ignored him.

Makes sense ... its only the ability to walk for the rest of one's life.

Eh. I'd say Dwight is more like 12 years old more than 8.

In current structure of deal, Orlando gets Brook Lopez, Damion James, Shelden Williams, Luke Walton and 3 or 4 1st rounders, sources tell Y!

LOL. Why would you take this trash Orlando.

I have been so disappointed with his maturity.

Working out here in the mandarin oriental hotel gym in Vegas and my workout partner is coach Woodson . Dude is cool as hell. I showed him your avatar frankman... He laughed at it.

That sounds like a horrible trade for Orlando.

I like you. I hope you stick around.

Gross.

 

[KingKong]

if this deal happens I'm going to assume that Prokhorov is holding Rob Hennigan's family hostage

 

[Liquidsnake]

Plus I got to see Mike Bibby gets punched in the face by Kobe Bryant and a foul get called on Bibby!

:') good times.

 

[balddemon]

this game looks like a bobcats highlight reel

 

[CrazyDogg77]

ORL has to tank if they take that bullshit.

 

[Nelo Ice]

This has to be a smokescreen now. NBA GMS are dumb but good god that proposed deal is highway robbery for Brooklyn.

And all I know is if we do get Dwight shit will not get leaked until it's about to happen lol.

 

[SamuraiX-]

.

Damion James is nice.

Can't argue with 3 or 4 1st rounders.

Do Lakers even have any 1st rounders left before 2015?

 

[StickSoldier]

.

That fuckin deal is HORRIBLE.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Damion James is nice.

the first rounders from Brooklyn will likely be mid-late 20s, which, as bad as recent drafts have been, might as well be 2nd rounders.

 

[KingKong]

Just think, why in the world would a rebuilding team was Brook Lopez

 

[Nelo Ice]

the first rounders from Brooklyn will likely be mid-late 20s, which, as bad as recent drafts have been, might as well be 2nd rounders.

And how do they convince Cleveland to give them 1 or more of their 7 first rounders when they don't even want anything the Nets have and have the cap space to sign Humphries outright lol.

 

[Knux-Future]

THE Luke Walton?

Gotta do that shit while you can yo.

 

[DY_nasty]

the first rounders from Brooklyn will likely be mid-late 20s, which, as bad as recent drafts have been, might as well be 2nd rounders.

Which is still better than Earl Clark, Orton, and Duhon

 

[Rodeo Clown]

When you can get a 7 footer who shoots jumpers and can't rebound, you have to do it.

What does Andrea Bargniani have to do with any of this?!

 

[darkside31337]

.

Just stop the pain.

Nothing says tanking though like playing Luke Walton.

 

[RBH]

Brooklyn receives:
Dwight Howard
Jason Richardson
Earl Clark

Orlando receives:
Brook Lopez
Damion Jones
Shelden Williams
Luke Walton
3 or 4 first round picks

Cleveland receives:
Kris Humphries
?

OKC's system must call for their point guards to take awful shot when ever they can

 

[Nelo Ice]

Damion Jones
Shelden Williams
Luke Walton
3 or 4 first round picks





.............................................

That has to be a smokescreen now. That's terribad all around for everyone but Brooklyn :lol. Does Hennigan really think he can outwork Mitch?

 

[DY_nasty]

Damion James is a good player.

That deal is still lolz though... maybe if they got non-emo Bropez

 

[SUPREME1]

Fuck Dwight. Don't give in to his demands, Orlando. Send him to us.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Brooklyn receives:
Dwight Howard
Jason Richardson
Earl Clark

Orlando receives:

Gilbert must be so desperate and salty he will do whatever it takes to prevent LeBron from getting another ring.

 

[SamuraiX-]

the first rounders from Brooklyn will likely be mid-late 20s, which, as bad as recent drafts have been, might as well be 2nd rounders.

Some guys who went in the 20s the past few drafts: Kenneth Faried, MarShon Brooks, Norris Cole, Jordan Crawford, Greivis Vasquez, Eric Maynor, Darren Collison, Rodrigue Beaubois, Taj Gibson, etc.

Just think, why in the world would a rebuilding team was Brook Lopez

You could ask the same thing about Bynum.

 

[SoulPlaya]

That trade makes no sense. Why would you take a bunch of BS low picks when you can have a more sure thing in Bynum?

 

[SUPREME1]

Gilbert must be so desperate and salty he will do whatever it takes to prevent LeBron from getting another ring.

Reason enough for him to stay the fuck out of it and let him come to Los Angeles.

 

[Herpes Reasons]

Gross.

hannegin is a moron.
no wonder his first name is rob.
dude is getting robbed.

You could probably build around Bynum, not so much for Lopez.

 

[The Frankman]

Working out here in the mandarin oriental hotel gym in Vegas and my workout partner is coach Woodson . Dude is cool as hell. I showed him your avatar frankman... He laughed at it.

How can anyone not love it?

Coach Woodson is such a cool guy. Even in Atlanta I liked the guy because he seemed so commited to D. Much like alot of the other Knicks asst. coaches turned Head Coach, O is his problem.

 

[SamuraiX-]

Both are equally as injury-prone.

Quite frankly, I'd be vehemently against building around either.

That's nice but they are complete crapshoots. You can probably name as many guys from the 2nd round that were good. If you are rebuilding, lottery picks are the only sure thing (or closest to it). Having 4 or 5 draft picks in the late 20s doesn't mean you have a bright future.


And yes, Bynum is questionable because of his ethic and injuries, but all things being even he is a FAR better player than Lopez.

 

[Nelo Ice]

Yup, Bynum is the bar none the 2nd best Center in the league. And on days he decides to give a fuck he's a beast. Yeah you can build around that granted Magic have to hope he cares since that's when he's actually useful outside of not being injured.

 

[Future PhaZe]

In current structure of deal, Orlando gets Brook Lopez, Damion James, Shelden Williams, Luke Walton and 3 or 4 1st rounders, sources tell Y!

Craziest thing about this deal is that Orlando doesn't get any assets back that they couldn't just buy off the market lol.

Not sure how or why the Magic are subjecting themselves to this. Dwight spit in their face and they are going to take a bad deal rather than move him to teams that will accept a rental.

 

[Talon]

I laugh about Mike Woodson, but he was always entertaining as an interview.

 

[darkside31337]

Lazar Hayward is just turrible.

Also Bynum can actually play. Brook Lopez is not good at all.

That said I'd rather have neither.

 

[Boombloxer]

Yeah.. but for all the bitching about the Heat and super teams... it seems that trying to get a bench would actually make the Lakers much better than just adding Howard..

Yea, I'm more for this as I've thought about it. Still need some youth and depth. Shit I'd like Ariza back if his contract wasn't poison.

HAHAHAHA

You could ask the same thing about Bynum.

Except you can actually build a team around him. Lopez? Not so much.

Emiliano Carchia: Dwight Howard Trade Taking Shape, Could Include 14 Players

have fun with luke walton redblaster and darkside.
High IQ white dude. can't beat that.

Yeah and again you swear Bynum with his knees is really going to walk away from an extra $25 million or whatever the price is to resign as a free agent?

 

[The Frankman]

Can we just make this trade a 5 team, 30 person deal?

 

[SamuraiX-]

Thing is, with Dwight's noncompliance to extend with any other team besides Brooklyn means the Magic aren't getting any better assets in return from anyone else.

You're quickly becoming the craziest guy on here.

If the Cavs get 3-6 mill cash some picks and maybe brooks or green just to have himphries for a year ? Best move in a decade by the Cavs front office that doesn't involve the first pick.
